I love finding new under-valued Steemians and this contest is a great excuse to find fabulous bloggers whose post aren't getting the attention they deserve. In case you aren't aware, the Pay It Forward Curation Contest is a weekly challenge from @pifc to find bloggers to promote.
If you want to know some of the things I look for when curating for Pay-it-Forward, please check out this article on How to Get Curated.
Here are this week's selections - reputation 55 or under.
Selection #1 - @bo-sirithip (rep 53)
Vegan Mussaman Curry - แกงมัสมั่นสูตรมังสวิรัติ
I'm not a vegan, but I was blown away with this amazing bilingual food article. Punctuated with plenty of excellent photos, there's every chance this dish will be in your near future if you like Thai and/or vegan foods.
At the time of writing, this post had an anticipated payout of 0.22 SBD. I think it deserves at least the price of a meal, don't you?
Selection #2 - @gertu (rep 41)
La historia de este sabroso rabanito.
Are you brave enough to share with us your first-ever attempt at growing a vegetable? This blogger is. @gertu took up the challenge to plant radishes and shared the experience with us with lots of great pictures. I think they did a great job, don't you?
At the time of writing, this post had only 0.11 SBD for a payout. Surely, we can pay as much as a radish?
Flash-Back of the Week
Last week's flash-back brought back a lot of memories to share. It's not meant to be part of the actual contest, just a bit of fun as I go back to...
Week 6 @zorank (now rep 57)
Zlatni Rat Beach, Bol, Croatia
This is another blogger who is still with us and an active member of this contest all these months later. He is still well known for his excellent landscape photography. If you haven't checked him out lately, now would be a great time.
These are my selections for this week. Please visit them and give them some love - even if you don't have voting power to spare, a kind word can make all the difference!
Note: All images remain property of the original poster. I've only used their locations.

My personal observations - if you want to stay in the game...
- Don't restrict yourself to a particular niche - contrary to standard blog advice.
- Get involved in at least one community on Discord. Below are some of the communities I'm involved in right now.
- Support others, engage, meet people.
